The Bemis Park neighborhood is over 100 years old. The Parade of Homes opens private homes for a rare glimpse of the unique architecture and craftsmanship not seen in modern homes. Some homes have remained intact through the year, while others have suffered the ravages of time and are being coaxed back to their former grandeur. This year’s selection of homes features fully restored homes, as well as works in progress.
Ollie the Trolley will provide transportation for those who chose to ride rather than walk the neighborhood. Tickets are available outside Augustana Lutheran Church at 38th and Lafayette. Ticket price includes a program, free rides on Ollie and admission to all the homes open for tour.
Please join us for an interesting walk through time.
The Bemis Park Landmark Heritage District is notable for its mix of late nineteenth and early twentieth century structures and its curvilinear, tree-lined streets. The uniquely platted area was the first subdivision in Omaha to be laid out with respect to the topography rather than the more typical grid pattern common to frontier cities of the time. The architecture of the district is quite varied and includes good examples of Queen Anne, Arts and Crafts, and Neo-Classical style buildings as well as vernacular structures. The district includes a park donated to the city by the subdivision’s developer George Bemis and designed as a part of the then developing Omaha parks and boulevard system.
